• Position the appliance in a dry atmosphere and out of direct sunlight.
• Do not position next to a cooker or other sources of heat, i.e. radiator.
• This appliance should not be sited in a cold atmosphere, i.e. garage or shed. Doing so may cause the freezer unit to under freeze.
• If positioned next to another fridge or freezer, leave a minimum gap of 2cm between the appliances in order to avoid condensation.
• A clearance of 50mm should be left above the appliance. If this cannot be achieved, you should ensure a clearance of 25mm is maintained on each side of the appliance.
• Fit the plastic wall spacers to the condenser on the rear of the appliance, this will ensure an air gap between the appliance and the wall.

Please ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged before the  appliance is taken away for correct disposal in line with current legislation. If there is any doubt contact your Local Authority for instructions.
• This appliance may contain the refrigerant isobutene (R600a/R134a). This is a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility; however, caution is required  as isobutene is a flammable gas. It is essential to ensure that refrigerant tubes are not damaged during transportation and the installation of the appliance. In the event  that the refrigerant circuit is damaged, avoid naked flames or sources of ignition and ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
• If using an adaptor, this must be used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and ensure that the electrical circuit is not overloaded as this could cause  overheating.

Section 3. Operating the Appliance

3.1. Switching on the Appliance

• Allow the appliance to stand upright for a minimum of 4 hours before you switch it on.
• Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
• Set the thermostat control to the required setting as detailed in the Temperature

Control section (3.2.).

• Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached.

3.2. Temperature Control
The temperature selector knob i s located on the lamp unit inside the refrigerator (see Description of the Appliance on page 2).

• Setting “O”: Unit Off
• Setting “1”‘: Unit On -Warmest Temperature
• Setting “3 or 4” : Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
• Setting “7 “: Coldest Temperature
  

Important!
During high ambienttemperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to set the thermostat to the coldest setting ( the “7”). This may cause the compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.

3.3. Storing & Freezing Food in the Freezer
This appliance has a three star freezer that is suitable for the long -term storage of frozen food items. It can also be used for freezing and storing fresh food items.

3.4. Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance. When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound or pulsating noise. The thermostat controls the operation of the compressor, and you may hear a slight click  as it cycles in and out.

3.5. Energy Saving Advice

• Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents are clear.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for a long time, warm air will enter the cabinet and may cause a build-up of ice as well as affecting the energy consumption. Ensure  there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly.
• Ensure that the door seals are clean and there are no tears or splits.
• Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such as cooked meats), in the coldest part of the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is the warmest part of your  fridge and should be used for vegetables, salads and fruits etc. (see Description of Appliance on Page 2)
• Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the fridge cold gets blocked and pockets of warm air form.
• Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer ? let it cool down first.

3.6. In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, keep the doors closed. When the power has been restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre -set operating temperature. Check the condition of your stored food items and liquids.

Section 4. Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
4.1. Internal Cleaning
Clean the interior and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litres of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol.
4.2. External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. There may be sharp edges on the underside of the product, so care should be taken when cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause increased energy consumption.
4.3. Defrosting
The fridge compartment will not automatically defrost itself. However, you will need to defrost the freezer periodically. When ice build up in the freezer exceeds 3-5mm,  empty the contents and switch off the appliance, leave the door open and allow the ice to melt.
Place the frozen foods items in a cool -bag or wrap them in thick newspaper. Do not use sharp objects to scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior, close the door and turn on the power to the appliance. When the power has been restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre -set operating temperature.
4.4. When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents, disconnect from the electricity supply and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar until you wish
to use the appliance again.
4.5. Changing the Interior Light (Except Freezer compartment)

• Switch off the power supply to the appliance
• Remove the plastic light cover
• Remove the lamp from the light unit.
• Replace the lamp with a suitable replacement (1.5W)
• Refit the cover and switch the appliance back on.

4.6. What to do if something goes wrong

• Check there is power to the electric socket/appliance

• Check the fuse in the plug (Must be 13 amp)

• Check that the thermostat has been set to position 1 or above (see section 3.2.)
  The compressor runs continuously:

• Are the doors closed correctly?

• Have large quantities of food recently been added to the appliance? -if yes, allow the interior temperature to recover

• Have the appliance doors been opened frequently? -if yes, allow the interior temperature to recover

• Check that the Thermostat Control has not been set to maximum

There is excessive frost/ice build up:

• Ensure that the doors have been closed correctly
• Ensure that the door seals are clean and sealing correctly
• Check that the Thermostat Control has not been set to maximum
